These Giants aren’t expecting to get the benefit of the doubt
NY Post
The Giants do not deserve the benefit of the doubt.
That is just the way it is.
There are scenarios that can be pliable enough, with stretching and bending and some expert twisting, to shape a forecast for a winning season ahead. But there has been more than a decade of losing, and that builds distrust and the expectation that what can go wrong will go wrong, and the one-year respite in 2022 only bought the new regime of Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll one season of relief.
If it is true that where there is smoke, there is fire, the Giants had better make sure their jerseys are flame-retardant. The only things missing this summer from the mob-mentality abuse of Daniel Jones are the pitchforks. There are rankings of the offensive line as the worst in the NFL, and the regard for the running back and tight end rooms are not much brighter.
It is as if doom-scrolling is part of breakfast for Giants fans. Coffee, toasted bagel and the morning shredding of Big Blue.
This is all quite unpleasant for the Giants. But not unexpected and, realistically, not unwarranted. The sins of the past are hard to forget.
